In case you haven’t heard, holding and shaking hands can be hazardous to your health.

What then is the alternative to hand shaking — that ancient ritual that can be traced at least to the 5th century BC — a custom that apparently developed as an expression of peace, showing that the hand held no weapon?

The author goes on to describe fist bumping and trying to fist bump an elderly lady at church.

@Mr. Kite There are only three options, well four if you include do nothing but that is unfair on the dog. Anyway we are waiting on blood test results and nothing will be decided before then so best to forget about it until the time comes.

Thanks for the reply.

Give him a scratch behind the ears from me.

Will do but it will have to wait until the morning as he'll be snoring his head off at the minute - and he hates being woken up unless its for food.

Here's a view of the building from around the corner. This view shows the door to the restaurant that was located in the same building as the recording studio.

Carl Perkins also recorded at Sun Studio.

In this recording studio is where the Million Dollar Quartet's impromptu session happened one day. Notice the wavy ceiling. Some of the walls are wavy too. The tiles on the floors and walls are all originals. What an amazing part of history to stand in.

Next we went to the Cotton Exchange Museum. The museum is actually on the old cotton exchange floor.

Paul McCartney's father worked in the cotton trade in Liverpool. It was interesting to see Memphis and Liverpool sitting side-by-side on this board.

In the lobby of the Cotton Exchange museum, I began singing "Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box"

@Ahhh Girl I've been to Sun Studio. It was pretty interesting. I really didn't realize how much music I listen to was recorded there until I visited there. I mean, I knew the obvious ones, like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, but some songs I had no idea were recorded at Sun until then.

Great pics! I'd love to go there. Have you seen the Sun scene in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line? If so, is it fairly accurate, looks-wise?

I'm so sorry to hear this. Echoing the others that I hope you can find the option that will cause the least suffering. I've been there a couple of times.

Very sorry to hear about your dog, mmm. I've heard more than once on different pet-related TV shows that dogs rarely miss an amputated limb. They are able to carry on just fine. I'm sure your veterinarian has counseled you. If your pooch is otherwise healthy and an amputation will not negatively affect its quality of life, that may be the best option.

No matter what, you and your beloved family member will be in my thoughts.

Yeah, as long as he is healthy otherwise, and he is a happy limping dog at the moment, there is no chance of him being moved on to the other realm.

Will see what Friday brings.

Thanks Zig.

Is Brother John in Let 'Em In a nod to John Lennon? A number of sources say it is but others say otherwise. A comment posted at songfact.com says the correct list is:
